These are not my go-to colors but a challenge is a challenge, and most of the time I really end up liking having been pushed a bit out of my zone. I went with Distress Inks for my colors, and then used clear embossing powder and heat set the whole thing to get some brightness.

The giant alpha stamp is by Wendy Vecchi (Studio 490) and the lady is an oldie from Catslife Press. I love that I can write whatever I want on her mesage board.

I added a flourish (Tim/Sizzix) and a bit of the ornate on-the edge die to ground her. The tiny tag is also Tim/Sizzix and I adhered it to one of his Idea-ology pins.

Thanks so much for popping by! This challenge runs through January 6 and all are welcome. Just make any paper crafting project you wish using those four colors and link it to the OCC blog.

Marjie, I ALWAYS love seeing what you create! I am in the same boat as you; those colors are not in my comfort zone. But I just love how you used them! YOu always intriege me with your creations. They are truly awesome!
Yeah, I was so focused on the colors, I completely missed the card part. But, if we get sent to the principles office, we have each other. 🙂
I hope this year brings you and your family happiness and success! Happy New Year my friend. hugs sharon
